More razors, a life time supply of chocolate and a plan that didn’t work out exactly as I had hoped.
I entered my CVS to find that there were no papers with the Red Plum insert (thus no Aussie coupons), so I had to adjust my plan on the fly. I used a “Buy (1) Carefree product, Get a 22 count Free” coupon for the Carefree pads that were $3.99 and gave $2 Extra Bucks instead of the Aussie Shampoo.
I started with $14.50 in ECBs, spent $7.21 for $101.93 worth of products and left with $14.99 ECBs!
